Taking place in Las Vegas, Nevada, UFC 260 lit up the once closed-down city with a thrilling main card.

After the main card started, the action was wholesale and culminated into a gigantic knockout to crown a new heavyweight king.

Pros React To UFC 260 Main Event

Specifically, in the main event of the evening, we saw the long-anticipated rematch between heavyweight champ Stipe Miocic take on Francis Ngannou. First, the fight started patiently, with Miocic looking for the takedown, but a lot of eyes opened wide after Ngannou defended the first takedown. Then, the striking was just too much for the heavyweight great in the second round.

Let’s not forget Stipe lost to DC. Stipe only defended his belt like five times to my 15. The man showed up at 230 to fight against Francis. He is no Jon Jones, I want this fight, excited to see what the UFC think it’s worth

Bro I’ve gotten out of the way from much faster punchers. And I have a pretty solid chin. Let’s not forget fight IQ, reach, speed, distance. I’m not going to just stand there like stipe did. https://t.co/szqyJMtUjA

Whoa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! @francis_ngannou did it! @francis_ngannou! The NEW @ufc Heavyweight Champion of the world is also the SCARIEST champion. Absolute best thing in the world that could’ve happened for the @ufc. Any event this man headlines will be BOX OFFICE. Must see!

UFC 260 Co-Main Event

Then in the co-main event of the night, we saw former welterweight champ Tyron Woodley fail to get back into the winner’s circle. Facing a very dangerous Brazilian in Vicente Luque, eventually, Woodley would succumb to the pressure and get submitted for the first time in his career. To pour more salt into the wound, the fight was also Woodley’s last fight on his contract.

In an Instagram post, Woodley posted his reaction to the performance.

“Shit was going really well until it wasn’t,” Woodley posted. “My camp pushed me in ways I haven’t been pushed in a while. I committed, and swore to myself I would bring the tiger out that earned me gold. I saw the opportunity for the KO and got too excited. Payed a big cost. I don’t regret my aggression as that’s what God created me to do. @luquevicente is a tough and humble fighter. Was an honor to share the cage with you tonight.”

“Fear The Maverick” Lives Up To Her Name

Following those three fire-fights, rising prospect Miranda Maverick put her physicality on display against UFC staple Gillian Robertson.

Maverick won but not 30-27 #UFC260

— Tatiana Suarez (@tatianaufc) March 28, 2021

Congratulations to the undefeated in UFC (2-0) @FearTheMAVERICK !! #inhisimage #ufc #mma #WomensHistoryMonth pic.twitter.com/djzjSDy17a

— in His image (@inHisimagellc) March 28, 2021

Very impressed with Miranda Maverick. Juggernaut. Comes forward so aggressive. Athletic. Gillian Robertson is tricky on the floor, has a lot of experience and can still win this, but Maverick pretty clearly just has another gear coming forward.
